Nuke those stupid bastards!!! The world is a better place without Islam.

Hey Magoo, dont throw out the child with the bathingwater.
You know, after we get rid of the Fundis, we can sell the moderates our music, literature, porcmeat, wine, beer and even the whole porn stuff.
They must be completly dry on these sector, so the stores will be empty in an hour.
One and a half billion new customers, a dream of freemarket business.

If atheism is a religion, then not playing football is an Olympic discipline.

I'm offended by Islam. Sorry if that is not politically correct to say, but if Islamic extremists are so offended by modern concepts such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion (or lack of religion,) freedom of conscience and thought, etc., then their religious beliefs are offensive to me as a human being with a modern sense of morality.

Why?!
I tried to keep a positive image of Islam because few of my friends are muslims. I thought these things are only done by a minority. I can't keep denying the reality of Islam. These people need to get laid! All those rules from their holy toilet papers. So much sexual repression! Islam go and get laid. With anyone! Anything!! You will feel a whole lot better and a lot of calmer! *big sigh*

It is true that the large majority of Muslims in the US are moderates. However, it is a lie to say that Islamic extremists are a tiny minority in the world. One can easily disprove that by looking at all the countries in the Middle East. Out of all the Middle Eastern nations (excluding Israel,) there is only 1 that has a secular government, only 1 that goes out of it's way to protect women, gays, non-Muslims, etc., and only 1 whose government is not heavily influenced or run by extremist clerics: The Republic of Turkey. In all the other Middle Eastern countries, women, homosexuals, and non-Muslims are abused, tortured, and murdered, and the authorities either turn a blind eye to it or even help to commit these atrocities.

We in the west have a huge problem. Because we want to be politically correct we ignore those facts and pretend that the problems with Islam are tiny, that it is only an insignificant minority who do these things. Because of that, Europe is letting in tons of extremists. In countries like the UK, over 40% of Muslims are radicals and support turning the UK into a Shariah-law Islamic state. They are so open about it that they frequently hold protests with signs that say "Death to the West," "We will kill all non-believers," "We will turn the UK into an Islamic state." However, if you are a regular peaceful Briton and dare to criticize radical Islam, the state will bring you up on charges of "Hate Speech," while doing nothing to stop the radicals holding those signs and burning British and American flags. If the west doesn't wake up to this, Europe will go from a collection of modern nation states to a collection of radical Islamic states within my son's lifetime (he is 2 years old now.)

***The statistic of 40%+ radicalization of Muslims in the UK comes from a survey of the British Muslim population carried out in 2007. The data is available online. Over 40% of young Muslims (16-24 years old) surveyed supported radical Islamic views. Although radicalism declined in older age groups, the rate or radicalism in older groups was still appalling and extremely worrying.

I read somewhere a few days after having first heard about this incident that the poor guy whose Facebook page this image appeared on is now in "protective custody". As it turned out, HE did not actively post the image at all. He was "tagged" on the image, so I suppose that meant it showed up on his profile page. The image was of the Qur'an being burned. Supposedly. Personally, when I saw the picture, I thought it could be ANY book, but maybe there's something distinctive about the Qur'an one can pick out from something like that in which I am not aware.

I know of some wonderful people from Bosnia who are Muslim. You'd never know it from talking to them or looking at them, but they believe in Allah, practice Ramadan, and so forth. I sometimes wonder why they're so much cooler about EVERYTHING than Muslims from other parts of the world, like Somalia, Syria, or Saudi Arabia...

I'm getting kinda tired of the crazy ones getting so butthurt over such minor things, too. These people seriously need to get some different hobbies other than killing and maiming people and chill the hell out already!
